Description
Depending on the media, media may wrinkle or come loose from the platen during printing, increasing the
chance of contact with the print heads. When you are using such media, adjust the print head height to "HIGH."
Print quality when the print head height is set to "HIGH" may be coarser or otherwise lower than when set to
"LOW." If this happens, refer to the pages indicated below.
